Hurricane Irene

I'm finally able to come back to post a few things since we got our power back after being "in the dark" for 4 1/2 days. Thankfully we didn't have any damage to our house (just a lot of limbs down in our yard) but there were a lot of huge trees down in our neighborhood and the surrounding areas leaving over 400,000 people out of power in our city. Willow was a trooper through it all and we would often chant "Come back lights. Come back lights." Needless to say, we were all VERY excited to find our power back on today!

A view out the front door during part of the storm:

A tree split in half and fell in the street on our block:

One street away:

We had two days of school cancelled, so Willow and I enjoyed our extra days of summer play! Here are some pics from the Children's Museum:
